description In our paper on China's social credit system in relation to digital platform ratings cultures in Westernized democracies, Amy Dobson and Wong explore how important tools for governance and centralisation of information are increasingly being used in China to create a new form of power in the form of a social credit system. The growth of technology and continuous call towards digitisation of the self in democratic countries may in future make possible a system similar to China's social credit system should social media platforms continue on without the implementation of stricter policies around privacy and data usage in the future. Integrating systems that 'nudge' individuals towards compliance with facial recognition systems which allows for cross-referencing of surveillance footage with the various digital data on individuals in a centralised system plays a huge role in aiding the Chinese government's attempt to produce obedient and loyal citizens.
